  • Beach Run Dubai 2018 is back!

    For the third consecutive year, runners will take to the sand at Sunset Beach in the popular event presented by Daman’s Activelife.

    Runners can compete in one of three non-timed races which cater to all ages and abilities.

    Those looking to just have some fun can run in the 3.6km event, or for more serious competitors, the 7.2km is on offer.

    And, for those with children, the 1.8km family run is ideal.

    When the race is over there’s also plenty of entertainment to be enjoyed as well as food and drink stalls within the Festival Village.

    Last year, a record 1,950 runners from a whopping 32 nationalities took part in each of the races with ages ranging from 18 months to 71-years-old all collecting medals.
